(Works as a Supplement)

(Good for beginners)

(My Japanese Coach Review)

(My Japanese Coach - DS - This learning `game is awesome!)

(A great introduction.)

I took most of my college's first course in Japanese, but I had to leave school 3/4 of the way in. I took my book home, and I also bought this game as a for extra learning.

I think it works pretty well as a supplement. It doesn't cover as much grammar as a book, but it did have a few things that I didn't learn in class (though I probably would have learned these things later on). The games are nothing too exciting, but they do help me pace myself when I'm learning. They also help me keep words in mind by reusing the ones I've learned recently. They do have a couple of problems, though. For one, you can't choose the words you want to learn or practice. I got so sick of it throwing the easy and useless word "bonnetto" (bonnet) at me over and over. Also, most of the games only work on vocabulary and kanji. The ones that do contain grammar are very limited, so if you want to work on certain grammar points, it's best to just go read that lesson again. Most of the lessons are clear, though a couple are a little confusing.

This game does contain all of the everyday kanji you'll need to know for reading Japanese, which is a nice feature. However, you'll probably want to find a good book kanji website, too ([...]), because sometimes this game gets the stroke order just plain wrong. Also, the game doesn't always give you all the pronunciations.

You can access all the words in the game through a Dictionary, which I find very useful. One of the problems here, though, is that the definitions are very brief. For example, the definition of the word "retsu" is "row". What kind of row? Like rowing a boat? Or a row of vegetables? It helps if you know some kanji. They do appear with the definitions, and that can help you work out a definition. For example, if you wanted to know if the word "kanzensaishokushugisha" for "vegan" was being used as an adjective or a noun, you could figure out that it was a person from the kanji "mono/sha" at the end.

This game comes nowhere near to replacing a class or books. It is good for teaching you new vocabulary and kanji and helping you practice them. It's nice that it's portable, because you can pull it out anytime you need to remind yourself of something or just have some time to kill. I'd most recommend it to Japanese students who want to learn extra material.

I like My Japanese Coach. It has fun learning exercises that help take some of the tedium out of drilling words and sentence structure. The Fading Characters minigame is a good way to practice writing kana.

I just wish the program explained verb bases a little better. It tells you how to conjugate them but I still have no idea what base to use for which situation.

I've come across some program glitches in the Bridge Builder exercises. It askes you to click on word blocks and drag them into the proper order but sometimes the slots that are supposed to receive the word blocks aren't active so it doesn't let you snap the words into place.

I would have liked more games that let you practice writing kanji, especially after you've mastered the kana. All in all, I feel this game is a good value for the money.
My Japanese Coach is a great study tool for beginners and intermediate learners. I started studying japanese in college from the beginners levels to the intermediate level. I've read a great deal of comments about the game, I would like to say that My japanese Coach is simply a study tool/guide it is not meant for people to reach fluency but a simple tool to get beginners oriented with the japanese writing system, speach, and vocab. This game is not meant for people who've had 8 years or 6 years of training, know over 500 vocabulary, or is at an advanced level. So for those of you who are in this category i suggest you not buy it you should go to japan, you'll benefit more with a real world experience in order to enhance your skills rather than using a computer game. If you have such experience my question is why buy the game in the first place? but anyway this is a great tool, japanese is a hard language to learn but anyone can learn it with the right tools. I understand the frustration of all the romaji but the game is encouraging you to learn outside the game, don't expect this game to do all the work for you. Also i see a few issues with the stroke order but remember this is a program it's not 100% flawless thats why you should use textbooks on hirgana, katakana, and kanji for learning the correct stroke order. Trust me doing this will ensure you that you actually go practice the writing rather than just using the Ds game. Taking classes, hiring a tutor, joining a japanese club, or if you know some or can find some international japanese students to conversate with then those are all great tools to use as well along with the game. For intermediate level individuals this game should be more of a tool for retaining memory for the things you should already know. I gave this game 5 stars because out of all the other programs i've used My Japanese Coach teaches GRAMMAR!!! a great deal of other programs do not, they simply focus on memorization. I love that it includes grammar. It's the best tool i've ever used, it's worth the money especially if your serious about learning japanese. Ganbatte!!!
Hello I'm an autistic 21 year old adult gamer.

This game is great. See I've never taken a language before to study but I love educational learning games like this. What can say I still like learning stuff. Anyway's I bought this game because in a short while I'm getting a couple of Japanese DS games off ebay. My Japanese Coach is really working well for me I'm learning a lot of Japanese which is really cool and awesome. I'm already on Lesson 9. Buy this game if you want to learn Japanese!

Happy Gaming!
While I, too, noticed a problem with stroke order recognition in the writing portion of the program, I over all found this program to be a nice accompaniment to my Japanese class. I ordered this program at the same time I hired a private tutor to teach me japanese language and calligpahy. My teacher is real strict on handwriting samples and so I am a little frustrated when the DS game disagrees with my more perfect writing sample. Aside from that each lesson is a small and easy step forward, reinforcing lessons I have with my teacher. The games are fun, but like another reviewer I also favor the multiple choice,sentence structure game, memory game, and the writing game. I really never play whack- a -mole or romanji word search.
This game did start me on verb tenses before my teacher reached this point and she was pleasantly suprised. We were able to fly through a couple of lessons because of this little program. Also invaluable is the speed that the japanese is spoken on the DS game, and the recording features.
Over all I would highly recommend this as a first tool in learning Japanese. I would also recommend taking a Japanese language class at the same time!
Thanks to UbiSoft's My Japanese Coach for the Nintendo DS, you can carry a tutor in your pocket that lets you learn a new language in as little as 15 minutes a day. With plenty of entertaining lessons, loads of fun-to-play mini-games, and a host of helpful features, this unique language coach will have you not only speaking like a native in no time, but reading and writing like on as well!

Learn in Fun and Interactive Ways
My Japanese Coach is an installment in the My Coach series from UbiSoft series that teaches the basic pronunciations unique to the Japanese language. This convenient and easy-to-use tutor allows users to compare their pronunciation to that of native speakers via the Nintendo DS's microphone. It also lets you use the DS stylus to practice writing Japanese Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji characters.

My Japanese Coach takes you on a virtual tour of Japan while you're learning the language. Lesson plans take place in a wide array of Japanese locations, from the densest of population centers like Tokyo, to the idyllic Japanese country side. You actually get to explore Japan while you learn new vocabulary as you open each point of interest.

Learn From a Master
Meet Haruka, the in-game digital sensei, or teacher, that exists solely for the purpose of teaching you Japanese. After giving you a small placement-style test, Haruka will get you started working through the various stages of your lessons. Gaining mastery points by playing the various learning games allow you to clear each level. Once you master all the words given in a specific level, you move on to the next level.

As you work your way through over a 1,000 lessons, your language skills are constantly tested and sharpened by various mini games. My Japanese Coach includes 12 types of mini games, ranging from Flash Cards, in which you hear a word and have seconds to choose the correct English translation, to Bridge Builder, where you are required to string words together in the correct order to create a complete sentence. And with mini-games that add a clever twist to classic favorites--like Memory that forces you to match the same words in two different languages--you will be sure to have fun while you learn.

My Japanese Coach also features a built-in dictionary and phrase book that includes over 12,000 words and hundreds of useful everyday phrases.

(very cute)

(great idea but could've been much better!)

(Best Bag for the DS lite)

(cute and roommie)

(Amazing Case)

very nice! the game pockets are easy to use and numerous. nicely put together.
Durability: 3 stars. Overall, I'd give 3.5 stars, but the rating system only allows whole numbers.
It's a great idea: a single, cushioned, portable space where one can store a ds, charger, car charger, a second ds or gameboy sp, velcro spacers, an outside pocket for small odds and ends,
8.5" x 6.5" in size, a durable handle with a detachable shoulder strap, holds 30 ds games and even 6 gameboy games.
Sounds great, huh? Well, it was until the ds pockets actually start to fill up. The pockets close to each edge of the case are too snug to fit any games (deduct a total of 12 pockets) and began to unravel and fall apart after only a month. We bought 2 of these paks and both had the same problem within the same time frame. Also, some of the plastic tags on the zippers broke off after a few months. It is important to note that my kids (12 and 10) are not very hard on their stuff-certainly not as hard as their friends and other kids I've seen. While it is true that this is probably one of the best available, it is not superior. My kids are still using them but I have had to take needle in hand to repair them.

There is a newer model that has changed the game pockets to cover only half the game instead of the entire game which makes it easier to remove but does nothing to secure. It holds 32 ds games loosely instead of 30 snugly (4 in each row instead of 5-which fixes the problem of the 12 too snug pockets), has no gameboy pockets but does include two stylus slots. We bought this one to replace my son's original gpak. The insert that holds the games is secured with velcro to the inside of the lid on both models. For my own personal use, I have designed my own bag. But for those who are not so inclined, the gpak is a good choice, but could be so much better!
This is the only bag that holds all your games, there are more slots to put your games than you'll ever need. My daughter loves it!
this is very cute and roommie!!! it holds a lot of ds games and a enough room for two ds and their cords! MUST GET!
This is a great product! Each of my girls can carry their own DS and games. This has helped prevent many fights in our house about who owns what game.
Organize and safely store your DS and its accessories. Compatible with DS or DS Lite. Color - Pink

(Horrible Product!)

(Read the directions twice carefully.)

(Warning: Cannot take off! (And is smudged in package!))

(Disappointed with all the scratches.)

(First Screen Protector)

I do not recommend this product. I read the instructions carefully, applied the bottom screen protector, and air bubbles were all in the middle. I tried to push them out and then I noticed the protector was scratched and smudged... my worst nightmare began. So I follow the directions to take it off with tape, and the screen protector won't come off, then I try duct tape . . . that won't work either. So I had to try to take it off with a needle, it worked but it left a small hairline scratch which is what I was trying to protect against! Thankfully, the scratch is only noticeable at a certain angle and directly under light. I am so angry that I even got a scratch!

Amazon was very nice and refunded my money for the bad protectors.

I'm guessing I might have got a dud.. I am not happy. :(
These screen protectors are very good and, when applied properly, aren't noticeable at all. However, they are a pain to put on your DSi. They're worth it; but they're still a pain. That's why I gave them 4 Stars. Now for some real directions to help you once your screen protectors have arrived:

Hopefully you'll read this and the actual directions before you try applying your screen protectors. The screen protectors are not labeled in any meaningful way, so you absolutely have to read the directions. Once you've sorted out which screen goes where, the real fun begins. Make sure you are in the least dusty place you can access legally. If you happen to own a sanitized room and are a surgeon, you should have no problem applying your new Hori screen protectors. The rest of us are going to need a little luck and perhaps a stiff drink.

First, make sure your DSi screens are as clean as they can possibly be. No dust, no hairs, no oils. Then, follow the directions and remove the back panel of the corresponding screen protector for whichever screen you dare to tackle first. Line up the screen protector and begin smoothing it onto the screen with your fingers or a credit card. NOTE: Do not let the screen protector fully adhere until you have checked every inch for air bubbles and debris. I also recommend turning your DSi on and off with the screen protector mostly adhered. Air bubbles are easier to see with the DSi off and dust can be easier to spot with the DSi on. Once you have made sure that everything looks good, keep rubbing your finger or credit card or whatever along as you drop the last corner into place. Congratulations! Move on to the other screen protector and you're done, oh nimble-fingered consumer.

If, however, you are like me and you messed up and got some crap on the silicon/adhesive side of your screen protector, get ready for a whole heaping load of fun. If you happen to be a neurosurgeon, this part will be easy. Also, congratulations on being a neurosurgeon. Begin by removing the screen protector. If you can do this while leaving the top plastic sheet on, that will save you a little bit of frustration in the long run. If you already peeled off the top sheet, apply some invisible tape to the top of the screen, press it on until it's as smooth as possible, and then wait for it to adhere properly. After the longest 30 seconds of your life, pull up evenly on the tape so the screen comes up with it. If you can't do it with one piece of small tape, try a bigger piece or several pieces. Now, DO NOT, I repeat, do not ever touch the adhesive side of the screen protector if you can help it. Shirts, cloths, paper towels, your fingers, and even the cloth that comes with the screen protectors will leave unimaginable amounts of lint and tiny, irritating, fibers all over them. Instead, get yourself some invisible tape and, while holding the screen protector at the edges, dab at the entire surface to clean it. Once you think you've gotten everything (you haven't), go ahead and, while still holding onto the edges, start reapplying the screen protector. Again, make sure all air bubbles and debris is cleared out as you smoothly put them together. If you see an air bubble, peel back and start again. If there's something on the screen or the protector still, make your most dexterous child/neighbor/friend/lover get some tape and remove whatever's there so you don't have to try holding the screen protector in place and removing any stuff that's stuck to it. Repeat this process until you feel you can fully adhere the protector to the screen. Did you get the screen protector on cleanly? I'm sure you didn't, so stop boasting. You'll have to decide how many times you want to go through that process before you explode or accept whatever outcome you get; and then, once you've decided on a number, go for it all over again. Good Luck!
When I first got my DSi, I immediately got this so my screen wouldn't get scratched. But when I put it on I noticed there was already dust and smudges on the protector. When I tried to take it off, the top one came off, but the bottom one won't. So now I have a DSi with a smudgy, dusty, bottom screen.
I was very upset to see many scratches appeared on the screen protector within a few days of the using it. Also, I'm used to getting a few extra screen protectors with my purchase, but I was surprised to only find 1 set, so if you mess one up, you're kinda screwed. I know next time I will by buying Invisishield instead of Hori, because I've had better luck with their screen protectors.
Works great for me so far. No dents, scratches or any damage. There are a few bubbles on the touchscreen but it's been a few days and this is the first filter I've ever bought for a screen of this sort so I'll chalk it up to inexperience on my own part. Very happy with it and would happily buy one again if I needed to. The filters are completely invisible when the DSi is turned on, even the bubbles are not visible.

Side note, this item got to me 2 or 3 days before it was scheduled to according to Amazon. Was very pleased with that.

customer 's review
(So much fun!)

(I received a broken game and returned it and now I can't get a response from the seller)

(Good deal)

(Classic game with a few little updates...)

(Bday Gift)

I'm pretty much addicted to the game. It has the basic Tetris game (which I love) plus four other modes. My favorite is the Touch mode which uses the stylus (it has two different games in that mode -- Tower and Puzzle).
It uses Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Balloon Fight, and Yoshi's Cookie themes.
I definitely recommend this game to any and all DS owners!
When I received the game it would not work. I contacted the seller and they told me to send it back, which I did on May 14, 2009. Now the seller will not answer my emails. I have no game and I'm out the money.

6/8/2009
bought this as a gift and it was a good purchase. All satisfied. Thanks
Back in the 80's I got my first Gameboy. I was young and broke and for a while the only game I had was Tetris. That one title did more to get me hooked on gaming than just about any other. I have really missed the feel of the classic and was hoping to see a remake on the DS. I finally found it and I could not have asked for more. With new modes of play and the return of the "Head-to-Head" mode that made multiplayer so much fun, this game really brings back the memories. I only wish that the classic Tetris screens and music weren't replaced by standard Nintendo themes.
This was a bday gift. It arrived before it was scheduled. I was very excited! Not a day goes by that I don't play it!!
Tetris DS is Tetris like you've never seen before! With six highly addictive modes of play, with single-player challenges&multiplayer matches. Each of the six modes of play features a theme based on a classic Nintendo game. It makes the most of the DS stylus and dual screens, and allows a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to compete in two- or four-player battles.

(This game is very addictive!)

(Fun and addicting!)

(Boutique Owner (Cool Game))

I got this game a few days ago, and I have been unable to put it down!
I just got this game yesterday and it's super fun and very very addicting. I have not put the game down since I got it. The whole idea of the game is to help customers find gifts around the store. The game sort of tests your memory when you have to find specific gifts around the store. You can also play as cashier and do giftwrap. You can use your creativity by making your own cakes, perfume, stuffed animals, jewelry and bouquets. This is my first Imagine game and it's super fun!
In the game Imagine Boutique Owner you play as the character named Kate who owns the shop.

In the game you get to help the customers look for the items they want (you got to remember where all the items are by walking around the shop) and then sell it to them if it is the item they are looking for.

You get to sell many things in the shop such as: 1)books, 2)music cds, 3)perfumes, 4) toys and games, 5) candy, chocolate, and cakes, 6) plants and different types of flowers, and 7) jewelry (bracelets, watches, rings)

In the game you can also create our own items such as: flower bouquets, perfume, cakes, and stuffed animals, but only when a customer requests it.

The game is composed of ten different chapters where they give you a couple different missions in each chapter that you need to complete before you can move on to the next chapter, it also gives you a Chapter 11 which I think is the free play chapter in which it still gives you missions to complete after you finish/beat the game.

You can also decorate the shop by choosing different colored floors and rearranging it the way you like it.

Overall I think is a cool game and recommend it to people you like the Imagine Series games just like I do.

Become the most fabulous boutique owner in town! Unleash your creativity and design all types of gifts, including flower arrangements, plush toys, and jewelry. Please your customers by helping them choose the perfect gift, then offer complimentary gift-wrapping to make it extra special for them! And don't forget to decorate your boutique for every holiday!

(great implementation)

(Too Jumpy, Too Buggy, Too Frustrating)

(Nana and Grandson LOVE This Game!)

(A challenge for all Scrabble lovers)

(LOVE IT!!!! LOVE IT!!!! LOVE IT!!!!)

Got it for Fathers Day and love it. A bit hard to see the full board on the original DS, but the DSi (and Lite, presumably) are more than adequate (for my bifocals, anyway). Also had problems with the placed tiles ending up in the wrong square, but it doesn't distract from the game (for me). I play with all cheats off with two AI players (skills 4-5, now), and so far it's a decent match. I'm learning my 2 letter words watching the AI play. :-)
I bought this game in early June and have played it every day since. Few, if any, of the reviews here fail to mention the problem of the letters being difficult to position on the board, and my review is no exception.

I have found it nearly impossible at times to position the letters on the board. They jump back to the rack or anywhere on the board, over&over again. This problem severely impacts the enjoyment of the game. It is far too frustrating to try to play this game, and nearly impossible to play any of the timed training exercises.

I read here that if you recalibrate your Nintendo screen (you can do this on the opening screen prior to tapping the game card), it will eliminate the problem. I've tried doing that two times, and it has made absolutely no difference. The letters still are difficult to place.

The most frustrating thing that happens frequently is when you shuffle or move the letters around on the rack, and the "pass your turn" key is somehow activated. Suddenly you've lost your turn when you had no intention of passing. You have to be extremely careful when shuffling your letters not to activate "pass-your-turn" and frankly, I'm not sure it's possible NOT to have it happen occasionally, randomly.

The training games are pretty much useless because of one's inability to position the letter tiles quickly. All the training exercises are timed, and yet you'll spend precious seconds trying to position letters over&over again on the screen. There's no way you can get an accurate time based on your ability and knowledge because of that.

All in all, I am extremely disappointed in this game. I think the company that produced it should offer a free upgrade to everyone who purchased it to date -- if and when they debug and fix the numerous problems with this current edition.

I agree with the reviewer who complained about the 'locked' Avatars and Themes. It's silly to do that. Scrabble is not a game where a player needs to be 'rewarded'. Winning a game and doing well during that game is reward enough. Most people buying this game are more sophisticated than that! However, if that were the only problem with this game, I would be a very happy customer.

[...]
My husband bought this game for me for my birthday. My grandson, who just completed second grade, loved it, too, so I bought this one for his birthday. We went to his sister's dance recital a few days after his birthday, and he played Scrabble the entire time (no interest in watching the dancing). I believe this game will help him learn words, spelling, and vocabulary.
I have long loved to play Scrabble. Now I am challenged anytime I wish. The game has many options--one to suit any level player.
This game is so addictive! I've been playing it so much...the other games stay in their cases!

As for the "tiles" issues that some people are having... you know where you think you have the tile, try to put it in place and then it just "falls". I HAD the same issue. But I discovered the "cure" by accident. I got new screen sheet protectors right around the same time I got the game. I try to change them out frequently as they get scratched pretty bad. (take a look at the screen up close and from the side...yuck!) VOILA!!! No more falling tiles. Give it a try before giving up on this cool game!

(Great product if you have alot of games/accessories.)

(G-pak Organizer for Nintendo DS)

(Very Disappointed!)

(Game case)

(Best Case for Nintendo DS, Games, Cord)

Being in Iraq I decided to start a collection of DS games so first thought was how to carry them all on missions and whatnot.
After searching numerous sites, gamestop, walmart, bestbuy etc..
I came across the organizer here and the best price I found overall, also the amount of games it can hold, 32 plus 2 stylus' and the ds it's self and cords/earphones and whatnot.
Its about the size of a lunchbox and holds everything I want plus 2 slots on the carrying strap for two more games, very useful and doesn't take up to much space tho it is bigger than most.
Also gamestop shipped random colors, amazon guaranteed black, A+ there, and the shipping was faster than most sites online, orderd the 6th shipped to Iraq in my company's office by the 19th.
Nintendo DS G-pak Organizer Black

Was pleased w/ this item. Great way to organize your DS, games&accessories. Really like the capacity of games it can hold! Makes a great gift too!
This G-pak no longer carries the 6 GBA games even if stated n the Item description and even the packaging states it hold 30 ds games and 6 GBA games. It now holds 32 ds games and 2 stylus. So if your looking for a case that hold GBA this one don't. You could just sit them in the bottom with the ds and charger but it might be a tight squeeze.
This case has all the room my son needs to store his DS Lite and charger and all the games he has with room to expand his collection. He loves it!
I bought one and love it. My grandson had a little case for his Nintendo DS, but it did not accommodate all his games. He was always losing games and could never remember where he left the recharging cord. I bought him this case and a game for his birthday, and he has not lost any games, stylus, or recharging cord since. Also, he will NEVER run out of room for the games. It holds tons of games! Good purchase!
Small in size with amazing features / Holds 30 DS game and 6 GBA-SP cartridges / Convenient front pocket with inner mesh pouch

(Clue is the best)

(Fun but not as fun as the Connect Four/Battleship/Sorry/Trouble games)

(Not bad)

(This sucks!!)

(Great for 1 player, not so great for 2)

I purchased two copies of this game so that my wife and I can play together. It has given us so much fun together since we purchased it. it has brought back the fun memories of playing the board game. I wish there was a way to make your own notes and a button to look at the board at any time. But I am glad that I bought it. The other games are OK. Aggravation is very aggravating and I do not think I have finished it.
I think these games are underrated. Maybe they're fun to me because I grew up playing them. For those who have never played the games, Nintendo DS walks you through the instructions as you move.
Bought for me but it was taken over by my 6yr old. His favorite game is Mouse Trap. I suggest it would be good for kids.
This game is not what I thought. I wanted to buy a game to play with people or by myself, but this is a multi-player that requires multiple cards. The way it sounded, I could play with people, well I can if everybody else has this same game. Where's the fun in that? I sent tihs back because of that.
My review is largely based on my Clue experience.

First off, it's not a bad game, but if I had tested it out before buying it, I wouldn't have made the purchase.

Now, on it's own in 1 player mode, it's fine. You get to choose how many NPCs you play against, and I always go with the full 6 players total.

But, I bought this game, specifically to play with 1 friend and it just didn't translate all that well. You don't get to pick the number of NPCs there, you're stuck playing a 3 player game. Also, they used the newer artwork that the newer released Clue board games come with. I don't mind the artwork itself, but I prefer pawns when it comes to playing board games. There is only one attractive female character so basically whomever sets the game up gets to be that one. I just think the pawns would have been better suited (esp since they are animated AS pawns would move not people.)

In short:
It's not too bad if you plan to play buy yourself or if you have a larger group of people, but if you plan to play against one other person, you're better off skipping this one.

(Good Game, Kinda Easy)

(I found bugs in this game - is it just me?)

(Great!!!!)

(You'll love Word Coach!)

(A Great Learning Game for Kids)

I like this game but I wish it included bigger words and maybe an example of the word in a sentence for the words I didn't know as well. However I still recommend the game if you like words and vocabulary!
I have been playing Word Coach everyday for over a month and I find three very annoying error. Did anyone else have these bugs.
1. The EP does not go any higher than 59%. It moved steadily up and has stayed at 59% for the last three weeks.
2. The word "Abbot" comes up every day almost every game I play for the last three weeks. I know what it means please retire the word.
3. In Word Shuffle the target time is 3 minute but they end the rounds before that time is up. I have tried by holding back during the first round to see if it is 1 and 1/2 minute for each round and I ended up with 2.39 second.
These are the three main bugs I have found. It takes away from the fun of the game.
After playing this game for over a month I am getting bored of the game.
Expanding your vocabulary and having fun at the same time.... What could be better???? Nothing!!!!!

Unless you have a very extensive vocabulary, you may not feel challenged but if you are the average Jane or Joe or even slightly above the average you're gonna like it.

When I first got it, I played it almost everyday and I have noticed that unlike before when I read a book and came across a word I previously didn't know, I breezed over it. Now... Come across the same word having learned its definition and it is amazing what a difference it makes to fully understand what the author was trying to convey....

Highly recommend this game to both children and adults!!!!
I bought Word Coach for myself (50+) to go along with Brain Age and other mind-stimulating games. I was happy to find that my 2 children can use the game to improve their English and Grammar skills. With over 10,000 words, each of the children uses it daily as part of their English homework. They have fun and their vocabulary is really expanding and it improves their spelling skills. One of my best game purchases!!!

I tried the game and after several weeks of interaction I've decided that this is definitely a game for kids. Way too much slang, definitions are off on too many of the words, most of the words are not applicable in the U.S. and those that are one would have already learn them in grade school. The pace is also very slow. Once you have reached your peak in the game it basically stops you from going any further. I stopped at 98% and best time 22 seconds and that's it, unless I can do less than the 22 seconds on each game it will not go any higher. So I reached my EP and learn a lot of British slang, yea!
